Core Feature: Implement conversation branching in YouChat that allows users to:

Business Value for Knowledge Workers:

Technical Requirements:

This feature would significantly enhance YouChat's value proposition for knowledge workers by enabling more structured and efficient exploration of complex topics and solutions.

Can we have chat branching so that we can go off to a different topic and then come back again to the same context?

I'm not sure about the technical feasibility (seems complex as the data must be stored in form of embeddings all together), but I believe this can be a game changer.

In ChatGPT it's possible to edit a message in the middle of a conversation and a new chat will branch from there. At least the possibility to edit a message or even just a way to delete the last message would be a nice improvement.

Dear You.com Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention an issue I have encountered with the prompt refinement functionality in your chat interface.

<Issue Description>

Currently, users are unable to refine their prompts by editing and resending them. Instead, resending an edited prompt creates a new prompt, while the original, undesirable prompt remains in the chat window. This behavior disrupts the continuity of the conversation and makes it challenging to refine prompts effectively.

<Why this matters>

Prompt refinement is crucial for iterative query development. I will demonstrate with an example.

If a user makes a mistake, such as a typo, in a specific prompt it, say prompt 12 for exemple, they cannot correct it directly. Instead, they must send a new prompt (e.g., prompt 13), which retains the faulty prompt 12 in the conversation history. This will lead to confusion and misinterpretation by the AI and the user will need to start a new session and start over. This undermines one core very important part of AI, which is iterative refinement.

<Why it matters>

• Continuity Disruption: The inability to refine prompts directly disrupts the logical flow of the conversation.

• Misinterpretation: Faulty prompts can lead to incorrect responses from the AI, affecting the overall quality of the interaction.

• Inefficiency: Users may need to start over to maintain a coherent query chain, which is time-consuming and inefficient.

<The humble implementation suggestion>

This is just a humble suggestion from my side. Implement a feature that allows users to edit and resend prompts, replacing the original prompt in the chat history. This would ensure that the conversation remains coherent and that the AI can provide accurate and relevant responses based on the refined prompts.

Thank you for taking the time. I believe that addressing this will improve the user experience on your platform even further.

I wish you all the best on YouChat platform.

Best regards,

Tried to click and hold to edit the message but nothing happens, can’t edit the message to try again. Super annoying.

In the prompt where you ask (put in your questions, requests, etc) when submitted, the user should be able to edit the question, requests in order to fine tune the request, question. I believe this will be a beneficial part for the user.
